Atlantic Indigenous Economic Development Integrated Research Program
ABOUT AIEDIRP
To enhance strategic planning and research initiatives, the AIEDIRP is guided by a Steering Committee and a Research Subcommittee, both providing direction and advice throughout all research processes. Both committees are comprised of Indigenous leaders, university representatives, and federal and provincial government funding partners.
On June 8, 2022, Atlantic university partners renewed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the AIEDIRP/APC. This document sets out a common framework around issues such as overhead costs, protection for graduate students, and ownership of research. By signing the MOU, the universities agree that the AIEDIRP will not be charged university overhead administrative fees for projects the universities collaborate on.
